The light travel companion
Light, robust and spacious - just as a suitcase must be. Due to the lightweight construction, you can of course take more things with you. The wheels are very smooth and stable. It is also stylish.
But: Quality has its pricePro
- Light despite the size
- stable construction
Contra
- no proper padding

Lightweight, flexible and well thought-out - good first impression
I recently bought the Samsonite Lite-Shock and am satisfied so far. However, as I've only had the suitcase for a week, I find it difficult to give Galaxus a final rating - especially for a product with a 10-year guarantee.
I noticed a few things straight away:
The case has no special padding inside - just the usual fabric compartments, a partition in the lid with a zip and the elasticated straps you'd expect to find in almost any suitcase. Nothing out of the ordinary, but it fulfils its purpose.
The wheels are a clear plus point, as they are screwed on and not riveted, which makes them easier to replace. However, the case has relatively small wheels, which makes handling on uneven surfaces a little more difficult
The case is not completely rigid, but a mixture of hard and fabric case. This flexibility ensures that shocks are better absorbed, which keeps the material stable and prevents breakages. This also takes the strain off the zip, although it is still subject to some stress when bent.
An interesting point is the material used: the Lite-Shock is made of Curv, a woven polypropylene composite. Curv combines lightness and robustness similar to carbon fibres. Thanks to the wavy structure of the surface, the material is additionally reinforced, which keeps the case stable without having to make the shell thicker
As I haven't been using the case for long, I give it 4 out of 5 stars for now. If you are looking for a light and robust case, the Lite-Shock is certainly a good choice.
Pro
- Very light weight thanks to Curv material
- Flexible structure that absorbs shocks well
- Robust and durable despite thin material thickness
- Well thought-out, functional design
- 10-year guarantee
- Castors are bolted and interchangeable
Contra
- No special padding inside
- Elasticated straps and dividers as standard only
- Slight bending of the shell can put strain on the zip
- Price in the upper segment, but still fair
- Relatively small castors make handling difficult on uneven surfaces

Super light and beautiful case
The case speaks for itself, large volume and very light!
Half a star deduction - If the case is not completely filled, the tray is slightly dented when weight is on the case.This review was created for a different variant: Lite Shock (124 l, XL (from 140l))
